The big difference between LeadNow and LeadWell: half of the latter includes project-based activities done in the classroom (like LeadNow) and the other half utilizes a strategic planning model titled SUCCESS. This is a real-world project that students plan and implement. SUCCESS (an acronym for a 7-step process) can also be used as a stand-alone program for students, after they’ve completed the 4 modules.

LeadWell consists of 4 Activities Training Manuals (ATM).  LeadWell is primarily designed for students with a medium to high aptitude for leading. The highly scripted, 8.5×11 format, gives trainers specific directions on how to prepare the activity using common resources, running it, what to say, and then offers discussion questions (140-160 pages). Trainer certification is recommended but not required.

Each module includes a student workbook as a review-participation guide (45-50 pages). Click on the cover of each book for a link to it on Amazon.com (US). Contact us to see if bulk discount rates may be available.

The Emerald Module includes over 12-hours of concentrated, project-based activities, developing peer-leading skills, as well as focusing on TEAM, SERVANTHOOD (HUMILITY), STRATEGY, and RESPONSIBILITY. It also includes the SUCCESS strategic-management model.

The Sapphire Module includes over 12-hours of concentrated, project-based activities, developing peer-leading skills, as well as focusing on INTEGRITY, RECRUITING, COURAGE, and VISION. It also includes the SUCCESS strategic-management model.

The Gold Module includes over 12-hours of concentrated, project-based activities, developing peer-leading skills, as well as focusing on COMMITMENT, OPTIMISM, CONFLICT, and CHANGE. It also includes the SUCCESS strategic-management model.

We’ve created a stand-alone workbook for programs that want to do the project management model called SUCCESS. Here are resources related to this dynamic leadership development training for young adults, ages 14-23.

A complementary resource is LeadWell, consisting of 16 chapters, one for each theme covered in the training curriculum. The project-based activities manual includes assignments of short chapters, offering an opportunity to gain knowledge as well as skills. It can also serve as a stand-alone reader for student government and leadership classes.

The companion book to LeadWell is LeadYoung, a student leadership primer, consisting of 11 chapters dealing with practical issues on navigating as a young leader. Most leadership books are written for adults, making LeadYoung unique. This is a great book for youth leadership classes with its conversational wisdom on succeeding in organizations as 14- to 23-year-olds.
